Ingredients:
- 1/2 c. sliced almonds
- 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1 c. celery diced
- 1 11 oz. can mandarin oranges drained
- 1/2 head iceberg lettuce chopped
- 1/2 head romaine lettuce chopped
- 2 whole green onions diced
Dressing Ingredients:
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1/8 tsp. ground pepper
- 2 Tbsp. white vinegar
- 1 dash Tabasco sauce (or other hot sauce)
Instructions
Throw everything except the oranges, almonds and dressing into a bowl and mix. Just before serving, add almonds and oranges and drizzle with dressing. Toss to coat and serve!
In a small pan over medium heat, heat almonds and sugar, stirring constantly until almonds are coated and sugar is dissolved. Watch carefully!! They will burn easily!
Set almonds aside to cool on a piece of parchment paper and then store in an airtight container until ready to mix with salad.
Mix the dressing ingredients together. I use a jar so that I can shake it all together and store in the refrigerator.
Dice the celery and green onions and chop the romaine and iceberg lettuces.
